"John L. was THE BEST! In working to swap our over-oven microwave/fan for a hood vent he was tireless in being sure it was done perfectly. The original over-oven microwave install was done poorly, causing a headache in fixing the errors, yet John did not cut any corners. He also checked in about every detail to be sure we were comfortable with what was happening. He listened to our concerns about how poorly the previous fan had been working and made an extra effort to be sure the vent opened very wide for maximum venting. We also asked when booking that the technician wear a mask and John arrived and wore an N95 the whole 4 hours with no fuss. This was our first experience with Mr. Handyman and if all the other technicians are as good as John then we will be using them exclusively from now on. John is like the fix-it dad you wished lived in your same town."

"“I would never do business again with Comfort Solutions and Heating. On Oct. 31, one of their servicemen came out to clean our furnace. Three hours later, it quit working. A technician came out again November 1 and installed a new circuit board for $1.065.33 but our furnace still didn't work. In his invoice, he noted that we wanted a new gas furnace since ours was 17 years old, but still came out again November 5 and installed a gas valve which cost $550. Finally Comfort Solutions realized we were looking for a bid proposal. Their final offer was $7,159.19 which didn't include an air filter. I told them we wanted to seek other bid proposals. Comfort Solutions did offer to give us a credit of $1,083 for the circuit board and gas valve. A very reputable firm in business for 92 years, Robber & Sons gave us a proposal for $4,860 including an air filter and a new thermostat. I contacted Brian Adams, the owner of Comfort Solutions asking him to either match their price or give us the credit for the circuit board and gas valve, sending him an email and mailing a letter to him. Five days later and he has yet to contact us. I can't tell you how disappointed I am at Mr. Adams. My wife and I are senior citizens on limited income.. I'm pleased we found another furnace company that isn't overcharging us.”"

A dryer vent allows warm, moist air from inside the clothes dryer unit to escape to the outdoors. Without one, the warm air and moisture remain in your home, leading to mold, rot, and higher cooling bills over time. This project requires cutting a hole in the exterior of your home, so you should hire a professional contractor or carpenter to perform the work.
Use rigid metal when the duct runs behind walls, under floors, or through ceilings—it’s durable and clears lint efficiently. Semi‑rigid metal works well for short, visible sections that need a little flexibility. Your installer will match the material to the layout, but steer clear of flexible foil or vinyl hoses, as they can trap lint and increase the fire risk.
In tight spaces—a compact laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom—a slim or periscope duct lets the dryer sit close to the wall and still vent efficiently. This approach permits the dryer to sit close to the wall while ensuring efficient airflow. Slim vents offer a wide, rectangular design that fits perfectly in confined areas and can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If allowed by local codes, surface-mounted ductwork further enhances accessibility and safety.
Plan on hiring a dryer vent cleaning professional to visit your home once a year to keep airflow strong and reduce fire risk. Large households or extra‑long vents may need a check every six months. Regular service sweeps out lint, spots damage early, and helps the dryer run more efficiently.
Qualified professionals for dryer vent installation include HVAC installers who deliver unmatched expertise for safe, secure installations. Experienced handypersons, plumbers, and roofers also perform these projects when the job is simple or when the vent pathway is clearly accessible. An HVAC installer guarantees a proper, code-compliant installation. For complex installations involving concealed ducts or challenging routes, always choose a specialist with a solid track record.
The maximum allowable dryer vent length is set at 25 to 35 feet by local building codes. Any 90-degree turn in the vent layout reduces this maximum by five feet. This exact measurement ensures efficient airflow and minimizes lint buildup, thereby enhancing safety. Adhere to your local code requirements to guarantee a proper and safe installation.
